Leftover Turkey Croquettes image

I grew up with a family that looked forward to leftovers, especially the day after Thanksgiving. But we didn't just reheat turkey and spuds in the microwave-we took our culinary creativity to a new level with recipes likes these croquettes. Serve three per plate along with a crisp green salad for an unforgettable meal. -Meredith Coe, Charlottesville, Virginia

I made these croquettes with turkey sausage and they were delicious! I also added some chopped apples and walnuts for extra flavor.

These croquettes were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain them on paper towels next time.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a fan of fried food, so I baked these croquettes instead. They turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

These croquettes were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more mayonnaise or milk next time.

These croquettes were easy to make and turned out great! I used leftover turkey from a rotisserie chicken and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but these croquettes were surprisingly good. The breading was flavorful and the turkey was tender and juicy. I would definitely make these again.
